A game jam is a short event where people build a game around a theme, alone or in a team. Here is everything you need to join one or run your own.
Sign up while registrations are open. Some jams need the organizer's approval or an invitation, and some have an entry fee shown before you confirm.
The theme is revealed when the jam starts. Go solo or form a team up to the size the organizer allows, and find teammates in the Teams tab.
Publish your game page before the deadline with a description, screenshots and a link to play.
A jury and the community rate every game on the jam's criteria. By default the jury counts for 70% and the public for 30%.
The organizer reviews the ratings and publishes the results. Winners are notified and prizes are delivered.
